Going up Kilimanjaro is not for the faint hearted. Food was top class, tents comfortable and I almost forgot the regular health checks.

Going up Kilimanjaro is not for the faint hearted. It took our mental and physical strength coupled by a magnificent support system of an experienced crew to get us to the four of us to summit. Prior planning with Abbas went smoothly, he was very responsive to our emails and gave us all the information we requested for. Overall experience on the mountain was above our expectations. We had much fun along the way and beautiful time in pristine mountain environment away from the city. Food was top class, tents comfortable and I almost forgot the regular health checks.
